' "An Oregon man is a grandfather because he is father of
his 13 year old daughter's child. He is an inmate of the
Oregon, penitentiary, and was an applicant for a parole at
TJiBrsday's meeting of the parole board. "Not the mercy of
a parole, but the glittering steel of a surgeon's. )cnife, is what
. state authorities should pply in his case." y; -r: .

: Portland Journal of .last. Sunday .-.u y d to -'
.t.ine very able managing editor lof; the Portland Journal
is Marshall !N.. DaM:, " Mr. Dana!:R. several days ; ago,
appointed 'a member; of the state parole board. - The Thursday
meeting of that ;b;mentioned in Jhi .aQrnal paragraph

agree with what he says T ' r '

wiir mentally without reserve.reflect that 'he should go to it,
world without end, amen. , v
r " Mr. Dana -has the assurance and enthusiasm of a new

i-institution for the feeble minded. --t --f" .
The superintendents of thesV state, institutions are lje-
qfiired by this law to repor$ quarterly the habitual criminals

ligation, the state board of
' type oi sterilization to be applied to such moral and sexual

may be appealed to the circuit court, where the person whose
U case is at issue must be represented by an attorney, at the
J charge-of the state, if not otherwise provided.
: , " The law. also , undertakes .to" define what is a habitual
criminal and .a moral or sexual pervert. Conviction, three or
more times for a felony makes a habitual criminal under the
Jawand moral and sexual perverts are declared such when

Mr. Dana may, do a fine work, in his new position, in
f securing a more general observance of this law
But if he takes the matter up in earnest, he.v will be in

for the' boys and girls at the state
nniversity, at Monmouth and at

ding strongest for the home. 4

church as whole heartedly endors
ing the movement of the student
service. "We are not only en
dorsing it in sentiment, said the
. ev. Mr. Deck, "but also in whole
dollars." This congregation has
to date pledged $600 with but one
fifth of the membership visited.
The Rev. George Henriksen j of
Silverton then spoke giving a re
port of the national convention! of
the - Lutheran Brfotherhood I of
America which was held at Minne

fect as it might be, the movement
was going Jforward mithwonder

went on to emphasize the import
ance of supporting the church
schools, at the same time giving
a hearty endorsement o"f the stu
dent service program' being c tab
lished at the state schools. Rev.
Mr. Henriksen was the first, one
to suggest that the matter of the
student service program be taken

.Church Tonight
"Revival meetings at the First
Baptist continue to grow in in
terest and attendance, i Last eve
ning there was a well filled house
when the pastor, Rev. Ernest H.
Shanks, preached on "The Present
Tense of Christian Living." ,
Song service, led by Fred G.
Fisher, was enthusiastic. In
pleasing voice and excellent inter
pretation Mr. Fisher i sang "A
Clean Heart." Choir and audienee
sang one of the Billy Sunday
choruses, "I Need Jesus. The pas
tor, in dealing with the subject,
took for his text: "Now Are We
Sons of God." He said in part: r
"Many Christians living might
be described best by 'Hark! from
the tomb a doleful sound.' Living
in' the past is usually pretty poor
picking. Time moves in an ever
present now. The world does not
care very much about the past.
That i soon forgotten. What we
are today counts for most. Just
as . v-ie yesterdays make up our
todays, so ' we make our tomor
rows. 'Be not deceived,' God Is
not mocked.' It is only the grace
Of God that can redeem us from
our' past' and : make us what we
ought to be today. "
"If a man is a son of God, then
he should live; act, talk and love
like a son of God. How far short
we fall of our privileges as sons!
Some men who. profess to be child
ren .of God. yet live, act and talk
like the children of the evil one.
The walk and conversation should
he as becometh those who are
sons of God.
"We become sons of God by
adoption. We have all the rights
and privileges of the heirs of the
inheritance. We are adopted sons,
having received such adoption by
the. Spirit. But God goes further,
and by the spiritual birth makes
us 'born sons' of God, imparting
the new nature, the new heart,
the spiritually awakened soul."
